The Music Web
=============
-- Release 1.1 (Update) --
The Music Web is an extensible environment for manipulating MIDI messages
(and other data). This is a slight update of the first release, with a
limited set of modules, including an 8SVX `instrument'. Please read the
documentation for details. It is shareware -- suggested donation $35 US.
This archive is an UPDATE only. It is intended to be loaded on top
of the original release (MusicWeb.lha). Remember to use the `-a' option
of LHA to ensure that the attributes of the unpacked modules are correct.
The system requires AmigaDOS 2.04 or later to run, and really needs a
fast machine to be useful. It is self contained, except for ppipc.library
which must be in LIBS: (use the `Install Libs' icon). (Xicon and IPCQuit
are used by the supplied icons, but to avoid confusion they are provided
in the `C' subdirectory.)
The manuals for the system are in AmigaGuide form (in the `GUIDE' drawer).
If you don't yet have AmigaGuide, you can try ploughing through them,
mentally skipping over the guide tags, as the text itself is pretty much
linear, or you can contact me for a plain text version.

Release 1.1:
The major constituents of this release are unchanged from the first
one, but one missing item (IPCQuit) is present this time, an occasional
Traveller problem is fixed, and a true `Split' ability has been added
to the filter modules. In more detail:
The program `IPCQuit' is needed (and invoked by the End_Services
script) to shut down a couple of the service modules (Load8SVX
and FileReq). This was omitted from the first release [Sorry!]
but is now in the C directory. You may move it to your `C:'
directory and edit `End_Services' suitably if you wish.
There was a bug in the `loop-breaking' protection of the
Traveller process that would cause it to `drop off' its path
prematurely and return to the source, causing lost notes and
things occasionally. This no longer happens.
In the first release, `Filter' modules like KeyRange would
just block the filtered events, so to split these to another
path would require a branching path and a second filter. Now,
these modules can instead `mark' events for a Split element
later in the path to act on. For details see the guide.
Mark flags required a minor change to the event format, which
only affected MIDILink and MIDIMon; new versions of these are
also supplied -- don't use the Split feature with older ones!
The `Loudness' module now lets you increase the level as
well as decrease it.

[A note on version numbers and `releases':
there is no single `version number' for this stuff, because modules
tend to evolve independently. Subsequent releases will probably be
given successive identifying numbers in this README. For reference,
the Web program itself is version 1.40]
